Author's Note: Big thanks to everyone who has reviewed. I'm eternally grateful and I really appreciate your kind words. Really, it means more than you'll ever know. Thank you. I wrote this especially for all the reviewers. This fic was originally a 1 shot fic. But everyone kept asking for more, so I put my little mind into gear and popped these out. So this is for all of you Jack and Sam fans who would love to see this happen for our favourite officers. :)
They sat in comfortable silence, their eyes locked, as the car drove them away from the chapel and toward their reception. They were married. Finally, after all this time and everything they'd been through, everything they put each other through, they were married.
"He was there" Jack said suddenly, breaking the silence but never drawing his eyes from hers.
"I know. I saw him as he left the chapel." She answered softly. Her eyes flashed and Jack saw the apology in them. She felt it was her fault.
"I'm not sorry." He whispered, his hand coming up to caress her face gently. Sure, Jack was sorry the poor guy got his heart ripped out. He never wanted to cause the man any pain. But he was not sorry that Pete lost Carter. Hell no. He was not sorry that she loved him the whole time she was with Pete. He was not sorry that she loved him and him alone. He was not sorry that he loved her in return. And he was not sorry that she was his wife, no matter how much pain it caused Shanahan.
"Neither am I." She whispered as she turned her face into his caress, dropping a soft kiss on his palm. It had always been Jack. There was no one else in the world for her. She was sorry that it took hurting Pete to see that, without a doubt. But she would never be sorry for loving him. Loving him made her strong. Loving him felt right. And loving him was magic.
The End…
